A handy list for reference:

“Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac
“Save a Prayer” by Duran Duran
“I Ran (So Far Away)” by A Flock of Seagulls
“Straight Up” by Paula Abdul
“It Takes Two” by Rob Base & DJ E -Z Rock (word!)
“Pride (In the Name of Love)” by U2
“Keep On Loving You” by REO Speedwagon
“In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins
“You May Be Right” by Billy Joel
Whew…

Any ficlet containing U2 and Duran Duran is automatically a five-star ficlet in my book! I love how you work the titles in. Very creative.

Well done. My favorite line was the pride in the name of love toast.

I absolutely love this! And what makes it even better… Re read it and sing the title when you come to it.. I think I have mentioned this already.. but try it. ;)

You’re right, that does make it fun! For what it’s worth, I just realized that I fudged by using Fleetwood Mac from 1977. I was, however, alive when it was a hit, so I claim exemption. : )

Poor guy. Another good job blending the titles into the story :) Loved it.

Great job, Eckhouse. And I agree, I feel old, too, hearing all these people saying they weren’t even born yet when most of these songs were hits. LOL

Very impressive use of the titles, especially the ones that were split to make them fit into the story. I really liked the ‘Keep on loving…you’ split. And bonus points for the Flock of Seagulls ultimate 80’s song reference.

Awesome songs. The bar scene really fit well with the songs.

hooray for Pride (in the Name of Love)!

BONOOO !!! haha

I’m still singing! Don’t Worry Be Happy!
